I haven't noticed any issues or battery life decrease with 6.01. That PC mag article was poorly written. He writes as if the issue is universal. Can we expect him to return the 6S Plus when he runs into his first bug?

I finally got my 6P today.
First impressions:
- very reminiscent of my HTC One M7. Same great build quality, stereo speakers.
- This phone is HUGE. I've never used anything bigger than a S6/Moto G 2015, so it's going to take a while to get used to.
- 6P's AMOLED display looks washed out next to the OnePlus X AMOLED display.
- Fingerprint reader is excellent, and love the positioning in the back.
- Doze seems to be working fine, although I can't put the device down.
- Stereo speakers. I really miss this, again from the One M7.
- USB Type C - awesome, finally something comparable to the Lightning connector. I just need to replace all my microUSB cables (everywhere).
- Fast charging - miss this from the S6.
- Very smooth performance. This was to be expected.
- 6.01. Already on the latest build, one of the major advantages of a Nexus device.
Need to try out the camera and see how the battery does for the next week.
For what it's worth, it's got fast charging, if you use the included wall charger.- Fast charging - miss this from the S6.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I was listing that as a feature of the N6P, and saying I missed that from my S6 (since my Moto G, or OPX didn't have it).For what it's worth, it's got fast charging, if you use the included wall charger.

I also zip lock all my wall chargers and cables /highfive.did someone say wall charger ?
Weird. I don't have any of these issues on my 5x.I've finally decided the 5X is a down right terrible phone. The lag is unbearable and both mine and my wife's phones have the exact same problems. If you don't reboot it daily you will find it almost unusable compared to the nexus 5. I made a huge mistake with this phone.
cause that's not what you're supposed to do-No way to clear everything out of recent apps with one button, despite every other phone maker having this feature.
unfortunately, this is true....Apparently there was a lot I took for granted in touchwiz that's not in Android. If I had known so many things I used were going to be missing I would have thought twice about going this route. Many of these missing things might be available in roms, but then I'm tied to that particular developer updating things on time.
Not that I don't like the phone, it's great hardware. I just didn't know how limited stock Android truly was until you dig through what the devs have done.

I'm now somewhat reconsidering if I really want a phone as big as the N6P or the LG V10.
I'm a retired guy with a part-time job (to get out of the condo and away from the boss) moving cars to various locations for Hertz. I'm constantly in/out of cars, and the big phones don't fit well/if at all, in my slacks or shirt pockets.... How to deal w/ that?
My buddy wants to buy my nexus 6. I will end up with a 64 gb 6p. Problem is aluminum silver is out of stock. Does anyone have the frost model? Does it feel plastic like?
Thanks for the description. I was going to order the frost model while the sale was on for $50 off. Mainly because the aluminum model was out of stock. But I missed out on the sale today so I might as well wait until aluminum is back in stock.I have the frost model, and having not handled any other 6p color I can say it feels very good in the hand. The texture of the back does feel a bit like plastic (especially if it's warm like just out of the pocket), but around the edge is undoubtedly metal. It feels similar to my Note 4 which was the best feeling phone I had handled at the time. It's solid, and feels good enough that I'm always tempted to use it without a case.
I'm not sure what your expectations are, but I can tell you I'm 100% happy with getting frost over any other color. I think the contrast with the chrome around the fingerprint sensor and black camera "hump" makes the white a good choice. It looks so good that I purposefully picked a clear case so I could see it. The black accents around the case make it look like a stormtrooper model =P

I have the white nexus 6 right now and it's pretty much only a couple months old since moto sent me a new one. I'm happy with it but my buddy needs to leave att and he needs a new phone so I sold him mine to use on whatever carrier since I'm not on any contract.
Because I've already had a white phone I figure I'll try the aluminum out. I remember the metal of the htc m7 and I liked that. I believe the back was also anodized white too.
Mainly I was wondering if the back felt like plastic or sort of like metal. I'll be rocking a clear case on mine as well. The white is definitely nicely contrasted.
